Invasive Species Response to Natural and Anthropogenic Disturbance
, 2021 Much of the literature dealing with the biology and management of invasive species has focused on the damaging ecological and economic consequences of invasions (see Chaps. 2, 3, and 14 of this volume for review).

Managing invasive species [PDF]
F1000Research, 2018 Invasive species pose considerable harm to native ecosystems and biodiversity and frustrate and at times fascinate the invasive species management and scientific communities. Of the numerous non-native species established around the world, only a minority of them are invasive and noxious, whereas the majority are either benign or in fact beneficial ...

Effects of Climate Change on Invasive Species
, 2021 Mean surface temperatures have increased globally by ~0.7 °C per century since 1900 and 0.16 °C per decade since 1970 (Levinson and Fettig 2014). Most of this warming is believed to result from increases in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases ...

A new national unit for invasive species detection, assessment and eradication planning
South African Journal of Science, 2013 Even with no new introductions, the number of biological invasions in South Africa will increase as introduced species naturalise and become invasive. As of 2010 South Africa had ~8750 introduced plant taxa, 660 recorded as naturalised, 198 included in ...

Most invasive species largely conserve their climatic niche
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance There has been a widespread debate whether the ecological niche of species is conserved across space and time. This niche conservatism hypothesis is of high practical relevance for conserving biodiversity.
